Police have distanced themselves from the operations in which hundreds of people were abducted by armed security operatives and taken to unknown detention centres.
Several high senior officers, who declined to be named for fear of reprimand, said yesterday that police neither participated in the arrests in different parts of the country nor do they know who is under detention or where they are held.

Police have completed preliminary investigations into the killing of former national boxing captain Isaac Ssenyange, alias Mando Zebra, but said they cannot arrest the suspects until President Museveni has sanctioned the operation.
A police source, who preferred anonymity, said the Inspector General of Police, Mr Okoth Ochola, submitted the police report on the shooting of Ssenyange to President Museveni about two weeks ago, but they have not received a response from the President.
